I send money to their funds directly, they distribute it according to their ranking. I got 2 reminder mails (last year and this year) and 1 mail with the donation receipt earlier this year.

Lots of charities focus on solving basic problems in developing countries, like building infrastructure or fighting corruption. They dont necessarily cause a dependency. Not saying you are wrong though, it is a complicated matter.
I thought the same until last year. Give https://givewell.org a look, they rank charities by efficiency and provide lots of insight.
Not all charities are like that, there are many that operate very transparently and actually make a difference. Just because some people take advantage of the system behind it does not make donating less impactful if you do a bit of research.
I started donating last year, 2 years into my first job. I was unsure then because my impression of charities was that the money probably doesnt go where they are saying, or just a small portion does.
Then I stumbled upon the GiveWell( https://givewell.org ) foundation. Their goal is to identify the most efficient charities using a range of criteria. I decided to start with 100€/month distributed 50/50 to fighting poverty and climate change respectively. I also decided that for every raise I get at my job Id raise the amount by 100€ and have done so once by now. I read that its easier to part with future money than with what you already own and it makes a lot of sense.
Stop spamming please?
Thats why I never leave out the /s
SpongeBob, obviously
Exactly. Responsibility always lies with the recipient, you cant blame me for punching your face, its your pain. I didnt rape you, you got yourself raped.
Good for you that you are privileged enough to say such bullshit. Try making your friends use your name as an insult and see how it feels
I know, it wasnt really an answer to your question, just wanted to throw that in there^^
My fashion dream is that everyone is wearing sweatpants and comfortable clothing or whatever the hell they want.
Good advice but I wouldnt really call that ‘cheaping out’. You can buy kitchen knives for 2$ which you definitely shouldnt do
Telegram is one of the very few services in existence that dont fuck with your data. I dont understand the concern in registering there
Its one of the few ways to communicate without major privacy issues, so of course it attracts criminal activity in some way. The insane part is that it somehow became normal for governments to spy on their citizens to an extent where the CEO of a communications platform is being arrested for not spying on their users.
It kind of sounds like you didnt hother reading the post
You couldnt be bothered to read the rest of the post eh?
I dont know why but this post feels like a teenager trying to sound like a boomer on the internet. (boomers arent 40 anymore btw)
Not sure what you mean. What would the No True Scotsman argument be in this case? It would need to make the same generalization while excluding the ones I mentioned, I dont see how that would work.
